If you are interested in becoming part of the 'Tannie's Day Care ' family ? please contact me.
Hi my name is Tanya, I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder, based in Hunts Cross/ South Liverpool, easy access from Knowsley express M57/M62
Please read below for more information or contact me to view photos, training certificates, Ofsted report and reviews written by previous parents on my childminder social media pages.
I have been childminding for over 8 years now and absolutely love it.
I am passionate about working with children and have a love for the outdoors/nature and getting creative and I incorporate this in my childminding.
I offer time for free play with a non rushed approach/ living in the moment and doing on the spot planning with the children to further their development.
We go on outings for e.g walks/ parks/ playgroups/ farms, museums, National trust places and knowsley Safari park (as I own annual passes) and most days school runs, which is a nice little walk up to the school from the car which the children always enjoy.
I've recently had an extension on my house to create a wonderful space for my childminded children.(see pictures on my page) which includes a separate entrance into my childminding room, doors leading into my garden, A kitchenette and a toilet and handwash room.
My playroom is set up with lots of toys and resources that are going to keep the children busy and also a large back garden with again, lots of play equipment/ natural resources. (mud kitchen, sand pit, Wendy houses, dens, swing and slide, fairy garden and much more)
We often meet up with other childminders and their minded children/ friends so the children can socialise in bigger groups.
I keep everyone in my care well fed and hydrated by providing nutritional food and healthy snacks.
I track your child's development in line with the EYFS (Early Learning Foundation Stages)- that all pre schools, nurseries and childminders have to follow.
I send Parent's photos, observations and comments on a daily basis to capture these milestones and special memories.
Term time only places! Closed in School and bank holidays and no retainer fees charged.
I offer Day Care- Monday- Thursday, 8-4pm for children aged 0-5 yrs.
Please note I do not currently offer school runs.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Tanya. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My child has been with Tanya for 4 years and I couldn’t have wished for her a better place for her to be. I leave my child in her care confident in the knowledge that she is happy, safe and secure. It truly is a home from home for her.
Tanya is an excellent childminder who provides a wealth of learning activities throughout the day. My daughter has grown up into a clever, confident and caring little girl whilst in Tanya’s care. She loves attending her setting and Tannie’s Daycare has excellent facilities. A brand new large playroom with a range of educational and fun toys with a large garden to play in. My daughter can’t wait to get in there everyday!
My daughter has learned so much from Tanya and is currently ahead of where she should be. I was kept up to date daily of what my child had been learning through photographs and also written reports referring to the EYFS curriculum.
As well as learning in the setting my daughter also experienced lovely days out to Knowsley Safari Park, Sealife Centre, Speke Hall, Liverpool Museum, Hale and many more places. My daughter also loves the playgroup that the children attend and loves coming home telling me about the adventures she has been on.
My daughter loves going to Tanya’s everyday and will miss her, I couldn’t recommend her more!

😢❤️ Such lovely words! Bitter sweet that she has to go! Going to miss her soooo much but I'm so proud of the little girl she has become and confident she is ready for big school 😊 She's a little 🌟 and gunna go far!
Tanya has cared for my son for the last 18 months since he was 12 months old. I honestly could not recommend Tanya highly enough and the care she provides is second to none!
My son absolutely adores Tanya and the time he spends with her and I have total peace of mind that he is happy and well looked after. Tanya is such a warm and welcoming person and has created an environment where children feel loved, secure and can flourish. It is a home from home for my son! He settled in with Tanya immediately. I had tried other childcare providers and he had never really settled but with Tanya he was happy from day one and has never looked back! He runs in every morning excited to learn and play.
Tanya is so attentive and creative with the activities she provides for the children. They attend playgroups, parks, safari park, libraries plus plenty more! Her activities at home are always fun and encourage their development. She has a lovely garden and they spend plenty of time outdoors doing activities!
She documents their daily activities with daily photos that she sends and I always feel like I get to still be a part of his day even when I’m at work which is so lovely! Her communication with parents is amazing and it has given me so much reassurance about how much fun and how active his days with Tanya are.
Tanya truly cares about the children she looks after and ensures that they are progressing against EYFS standards. She regularly sends home reports about their progress and next steps.
I couldn’t be happier with the care Tanya has shown my baby boy and would recommend her to any parent looking for childcare for their children.

This made me cry, (happy tears because such lovely words and sad tears because you are leaving), I feel so honoured to have been apart of your lives. But as the saying goes "don't be sad about our time ending, be happy for the time we had"😪😊❤
For anyone looking for a childminder who is totally devoted to the happiness of your child I 100% recommend Tanya. My 2 boys absolutely adore her and love going to spend the day. They see it as going to spend the day with a family member. But as much as they enjoy their time there they are provided with numerous learning opportunities and there is a real emphasis on their development! Tanya keeps a fantastic Early learning years folder to outline every step of their development . Another thing that you will rarely get with Childminder’s is the communication that Tanya offers . Every evening after the days childcare Tanya provides numerous photos of the children’s day which gives you compete confidence that the children are so happy all day long. She also takes them outdoors regularly including trips to places such as Knowsley Safari Park, which my boys love!

Lovely words, Thank you Laura, I'm going to miss seeing their little faces every week but makes me sooo happy they enjoyed their time here ❤ they certainly will be missed by all. Good luck on your new adventure together x
Our eldest daughter Ellie has been at Tanya's since the start of 2016. From the very first day she was happy to go and explore, and has always been met with a welcoming smile from Tanya. Tanya has created a beautiful environment that has allowed Ellie to develop from her early toddler stage into a little girl. She always provides new activities that both stimulate and entertain the children, and there always seems new toys every time we go!
The work that has gone into the learning journal for Ellie is admirable, Tanya has really covered so much detail that every family member we have shown has always been so impressed and absorbed in the content. Ellie has built a lovely friendship with Ruben over the past year or so, and they very much enjoy each other’s company.
Ellie having had 8-9 months in Tanya’s care it was only natural when the time was right we send her younger brother William to attend. He was also so happy everyday to go and be with his sister and Tanya. He has also bonded with Tanya’s eldest son Ethan and is also so pleased to see him every day, getting excited when we first drop him off. Tanya has also adapted the activities so that William could be included and help with his development, again the learning journal is amazing.
As parents we are more than happy to recommend Tanya and will surely miss her, Ruben, Ethan and Matt when we leave…..

Thanks for this lovely feedback. Brought a tear to my eye.
I've loved having Ellie and William, they're beautiful children and such a pleasure to look after.
We will miss them so much when they leave and wish you all the very best for the future!
